Summary: There were four times that the others wanted to cuddle with him.
It was during the tour - of course the nights spent in the hotel were fairly different. Lonelier than how they were spent at home most of the time, even though they shared rooms. Even after so long, there were some that still weren't really used to it. That’s why he wasn’t exactly surprised when an extra weight dipped his bed down a bit not long after he had wound down, a warm body practically snuggling into his back. Ueda must have been half asleep, he figured, since an arm was then thrown almost clumsily over his waist. Nakamaru didn’t question moments like this, because clearly it was lonely for Ueda without his pets to cuddle with. So Nakamaru just stayed silent, pretending to be asleep to avoid any embarrassment. Ueda would likely be back in his own bed by the morning either way. So what was the harm? They were really close after all. He spent a while listening to Ueda’s breathing as he laid there, nothing really running through his mind at that moment. Somehow Ueda had that calming effect on him.
With Ueda’s breathing evened out and feeling the warmth snuggled into his back, Nakamaru found himself drifting off to sleep fairly quickly that night.

By then, Nakamaru absolutely knew that Kame didn’t need any reason or motives to get all cozy and comfortable with him. So even if it still made him the slightest bit uncomfortable, he didn’t argue all that much when the younger man’s futon found itself right next to his own after the onsen trip for Shounen Club. This normally didn't bother Nakamaru, but he didn't really understand why Kame needed to be so physically close.
“You’re too close, Kazuya,” he murmured, clearly tired from all the filming they had done that day.
“Nonsense,” he uttered in response, and just from that one word, Nakamaru could tell how tired Kame was. With that one word, Nakamaru gave up on even considering asking Kame to move over.
Nakamaru sighed, turning over to lie on his back as Kame found himself resting against his side. Fingers crossing on his chest, He just closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of warmth radiating from the other as well as the silence and peace of the moment. Even if he did ask Kame to move over a little, Nakamaru absolutely knew that the younger wouldn't comply. Not that Nakamaru was complaining much - at least in this moment.
“It has been a pretty nice day, huh?” He asked out loud after a period of silence. The only response he got was Kame's steadying breaths, a tell-tale sign that he had fallen asleep already. Nakamaru smiled to himself and closed his eyes, giving in to sleep not long later.

He must have been drunk. Nakamaru knew that much for sure, because Koki was rarely, if ever this affectionate with anyone. He also knew that Koki (surprisingly enough),rarely got drunk. Nakamaru knew that something must have been up with the other, but he didn't question it at that moment.
After a while, he decided that pushing him off was nearly futile, as Koki just continued to attempt to snuggle into his side, slurring words that Nakamaru couldn't understand, but he could easily guess were about how good of a "brother" and a friend Nakamaru was. By that time, it was late at night and Nakamaru was beginning to get tired while Koki's eyes were beginning to get misty. He decided to let the other sleep it off, even if it would have to be in his bed with him. Nakamaru was worried enough that he didn't want Koki to be alone in that state. So he stood up from the couch, threw his arm around Koki's practically dead and limp weight and slowly made his way to the bedroom. Nakamaru didn't even bother trying to change or undress either of them and just tucked Koki in before laying down as well with a soft sigh, his arms wrapping around his friend.
Whatever had happened, they would talk about in the morning. For now, Nakamaru would just hug him, give him the contact that he seemed to need, and make sure he was okay.

Nakamaru couldn't help but chuckle at the frustrated exclamation of words mumbled together that came from beside him as the controller was set down on the table in front of them.
“We should do something else. I'm tired of playing.”
“You mean you're tired of losing.” Nakamaru corrected his friend with a grin as Taguchi gave a soft huff, crossing his arms before reaching for the remote.
“Let's watch a movie or something.”
“Alright, but I'm picking what we watch.” Taguchi made a noise of protest, scrolling through the channels.
“You should let me pick because I kept losing.” Nakamaru stared at him blankly for a moment before shrugging.
“That logic makes no sense.”
“Of course it does,” Taguchi dismissed. “I lost so I should choose the movie because you should want to keep your guest happy.” Nakamaru almost wanted to smack the self-pleased look of the others face. He just turned around and walked to the kitchen to make some popcorn, giving a defeated sigh.
“Fine, pick whatever you want.” Once Taguchi made a decision, there was no changing his mind. Nakamaru knew that through experience. He decided he would humor Taguchi this time, since he was too tired to argue back. After he had finished the popcorn, he came back to see (without much surprise) that Taguchi had picked the "Guardians of the Galaxy" to watch. Settling on the couch as Taguchi clicked the play button, Nakamaru set the bowl of popcorn down on the table and got comfortable to watch the movie.

He wasn't sure when he had fallen asleep, but he was pretty sure that it was quick into the movie because he couldn't remember much from it. When he woke up, his muscles were stiff from the couch, but there was also a warmth coming from beside him that he didn't want to leave. He felt himself subconsciously leaning into it as his eyes opened slowly, only a little bit surprised to see that a blanket had been placed over them (probably Taguchi's own doing) as well as the taller man right there, with his arm wrapped around Nakamaru's shoulders. He decided to just close his eyes again and enjoy the warmth and comfort of the moment while Taguchi continued to sleep peacefully.
